For Madden 26
Please, EA, get rid of the WWE "tackles." It's ridiculous. Running with Derrick Henry, some 5 foot 11 186lb defensive back did one of those standing chest bumps "tackles" on him. Give me a break! I'm not saying the DB couldn't get him down, but blowing HIM up like that is insane. There's no difference I can notice between the modes, either. Leave the WWE defense in arcade mode and let simulation be more like actual football where they just tackle dudes the vast majority of the time.
Defense doesn't need to be made "fun." If stopping the offense isn't enough "fun" for you, go play a different game.
No standing chest bump take downs, no torpedo tackles. At least not EVERY other tackle. Just wrap the player up and take them down. Is asking for a football sim to look and play like actual football asking too much of you folks? Maybe don't do the exclusive rights thing again and let other companies also have a crack at a decent football game. You can keep making your WWE NFL football game, and someone else can make a better one for those who want a true sim.
It's like every other tackle in Madden has to be some BONE CRUSHING HIT, BRUTHA, and it truly gets annoying.
Also, maybe make the Titans uniforms look authentic for once on PC before they change uniforms in a few years, and you no doubt get those wrong as well. Leaving me to mod your game so I can actually enjoy a more authentic experience. Thanks for that, BTW. As a devoted customer, I should be forced to modding your mistakes rather than you just fixing them. Great company. They got the only football game in town, so our choices are to deal with your busch league releases. Or not be able to enjoy a football sim at all. Great position you've put all of us in. Shout out to the NFL as well for not caring about the quality of the product and signing an exclusive deal with company that laughs in your face while bringing up the exact same issues for over 5 years and it never being fixed. In fact, the titans uniforms somehow looked worse this year! Great job, folks, just a bang-up job. Thank god for those who figured out how to mod gameplay as well.
It's so weird and sad at the same time. If not for fans or myself who are more dedicated to the product than those actually making it by fixing it through mods, I probably wouldn't be buying this game anymore. You all do know that YOU can just go ahead and make the game good, right? Then we can just mod it for fun! Try it some time, you certainly haven't yet as I've been modding EVERY Madden game on PC to at least fix the Titans uniform issues since Madden 19.
